<p>FAQ</p>
<p>Q: <strong>Why are my coordinates flipped?</strong></p>
<p>A: In the <a href="http://geojson.org/">GeoJSON</a> format, longitude comes first, before<br>latitude.</p>
<p>Q: <strong>Isn’t that wrong?</strong></p>
<p>A: No, <a href="http://www.macwright.org/lonlat/">almost every kind of spatial file that exists, including KML and Shapefiles</a>,<br>does the same thing. Math also tends to tell things in X, Y order, and we usually<br>size things by width and then height.</p>
<p>Q: <strong>Why does geojson.io require access to private repos?</strong></p>
<p>A: Because if it didn’t, you wouldn’t be able to open files in your private<br>repos via GitHub.</p>
